Melissa and I headed into Central London about 2 hours before the Procession to get a spot along the Mall. Yeah, that wasn’t happening. When we got there, the route was closed because there were so many people- and more kept coming!
We quickly realized that we weren’t going to see anything so we headed South to Melissa’s friend, Jaquetta’s, house.
We had to go via Victoria Station on the Victoria Line..I obviously needed a photo!
She was having a BBQ. There were a ton of people there. I tried to remember everyone’s names, but that wasn’t happening haha They were all nice though. I especially like chatting with Melissa’s friend, Rachel. She has 2 boys- Zayer and Bodi (definitely spelled wrong)-and is married to Zarni. She’s from Birmingham (where I’m headed this weekend!).
I got to cuddle Jaquetta’s new baby boy- Billy. SO PRECIOUS! He is only 5 weeks old and ridiculously adorable.
The food was amazing! My favourites were the vegetarian sausages and the cheese. Oh, the cheese. Halloumi is the name. You bbq it. I. Am. In. Love. When I get back, I will make it for everyone and we will be addicted together. I promise.
We headed home afterwards to watch some tv and hang out. We watched a show called “Four Rooms.” It reminded me a bit of Storage Wars and that type of thing.
So far, I’ve been enjoying British living. Even the rain!
CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A BRITISH BBQ WHEN YOU GET BACK????
ReplyDeleteHalloom is SO GOOD. They have it (fried, not BBQed) at the Lebanese place in downtown Fred!
